The Lost Soul is a single vineyard representation of Red Willow syrah and is a combination of two blocks of syrah planted on very different soils.
Established in 1999 in Woodinville, Washington, by Mark Ryan McNeilly, Mark Ryan Winery is an acclaimed Washington winery. McNeilly is a largely self-taught winemaker, having crushed and produced his first vintages in garages of friends and family. In the years since its founding, the winery has grown in size, earning respect and acclaim from both wine lovers and critics. In 2017, production shifted from Woodinville to Walla Walla, allowing tasting rooms to open in both cities and helping Mark Ryan become the 14th largest winery in Washington. McNeilly introduced his Board Track Racer line in 2008 and established Megan Anne Cellars, which showcases Oregon pinot noir, in 2016. The Mark Ryan wine family continues to expand and now includes the Lu and Oly, Flowerhead, Board Track Racer, NumbSkull, Underground Wine Project and Mark Ryan Winery brands.
From the first vintage onward, Mark has been a champion of Washington wines. Having made significant contributions to the Washington wine community, McNeilly has helped establish Washington as a prominent U.S. wine region.
Specializing on Red Mountain. Mary Ryan produces wine from grapes grown in the high desert, on a very warm site. They are big-shouldered wines that they coax a great amount of finesse and elegance.
